...Banuelos' bland assertion that she had been the victim of a political conspiracy seemed preposterous. But TIME's Eleanor Hoover learned that the choice of Mrs. Banuelos' plant was no accident. The tipster, Hoover reports, was Harry Bernstein, the respected labor editor of the Los Angeles Times and a recent crusader against illegal aliens. The day before the raid, Bernstein phoned Rosenberg and told him of the aliens at the Banuelos plant. Bernstein did not tell Rosenberg who the president of the company was, or where he himself had received his information. Gratefully, Rosenberg invited Bernstein along...
Insubordination. Bernstein's tipster was Noel Doran, a 15-year employee of the Immigration Service, who is also vice president of the A.F.L.-C.I.O. American Federation of Government Employees. Doran had singled out Mrs. Banuelos' plant because a raid there would get national attention.

In quick succession, the flesty Crimeds scored three touchdowns on long runs by an informed source, a high administration official, and an anonymous tipster. While the Princeton team engaged in a bitter argument on whether rushing would be allowed on field goal attempts, the CRIMSON scored three field goals with kicks by Church Editor Leonard S. Edgerly...
...clothes and became a millionaire by the age of 23. Robert I. Toussie did not register, he said later, because his pacifist convictions prevented any contact with the military system -even applying for status as a conscientious objector. His default went unnoticed until he was 25, when an anonymous tipster informed his draft board. In appealing his subsequent conviction, Toussie argued that the Government had lost its chance to prosecute him when the federal statute of limitations ran out five years after he had committed his crime...
